Kevin Harvick held off Richard Childress Racing teammate Clint Bowyer by .271 seconds Saturday to win the Goody’s 250 NASCAR Busch race at Martinsville Speedway in the first series race at the track since 1994.

The victory was Harvick’s series-leading fourth of the season and his 21st career Busch win, but his first at the track. Harvick’s No. 21 Chevrolet was by far the dominant car, leading 149 of 250 laps. He did, however, have to navigate several tricky restarts as the race was marred by a track-record 19 cautions covering 87 laps.

Denny Hamlin finished third with Reed Sorenson fourth and Johnny Sauter fifth. Harvick holds a commanding 348-point lead over Carl Edwards in the series points race who finished sixth.
